Yes that would be awesome!

It sounds interesting.
But what happens if someone wipes out your ramping creatures?

Say you get hit with a turn 3 Bonfire, Terminus, or Sever the Bloodline?

You'll need some mid range creatures to hold out in case your rampers get wiped.

edit: You may want to side board 1 set of rampers to swap up depending on the type of deck you are facing.
Have you with elves and the archdruid, another with the gatecreeper and defenders. Since the lands the gatecreepers bring out will still be there if you're creatures get wiped.

Did you trade US to Canada? Sometimes customs randomly decides to check packages which can cause delays.
I've heard of people having issues with that.

What if there is special feedback for not receiving cards?

Negative can mean a lot of things.
If someone takes awhile to ship and they know it will be a few days, they should let the person know.
Communication is key here.
(and it's great there you provide a forum message like system within the trade).

But when I'm looking to go into a trade my primary concern is that we both get the cards.
For example, I recently traded 2 show and tell's for about the equivalent worth of cards.
During the beginning of the trade, I could tell the user was a little nervous about receiving the cards, conditions, etc.
(I traded down for less value and cards I know are dropping in price).
But I'm getting into modern play and there's some cards I will probably never use again, worked out for both of us

So I sent first and before we finalized the trade took pictures of the card conditions with my phone. (so I could also show edges).
I was a bit nervous myself about getting the cards. I sent first and it was a fairly high value of cards to trade.

Could a database be kept of addresses + real names, of traders of steal cards?
(ie: do not send their cards)
After it's confirmed that there was no special circumstances?

I mean a database users can check. To make sure a card taker did not create a 2nd account.

If you need more ramp you could use turn 3 for mana fixing. Chromatic Lantern comes to mind.
Trepanation Blade might be interesting on your flyers.

I recommend either trading them here for cards you need.
(as you'll get at least 1 for 1 for the value or more).

Or sell on ebay. A card shop will likely give you between 40-60% of the cards value,
so they can make a profit when they sell it.

Oh yeah good idea!
For some reason I was thinking he wanted an in-person only trade

Just submitted the mail trade offer.

I saw that you live in Plainville, is that Plainville MA?
I live in Manchester NH, if you want to trade in person we could meet somewhere.

I'll trade you 2 Show and Tell's for your 3 English Bonfires.

Yeah Krenko is crazy in EDH. My friend has a mono goblin Krenko. Put in goblin sacrifices, with a sharpshooter out and ouch!
